WHY APOGEE?
The game of school and the game of life are two very different things, and mastery in one does not always translate to the other. We aim to narrow that gap by preparing our young men and women for life after school. Additionally, we aim to provide them with the skills required to achieve a life of sovereignty and freedom, and that starts by taking control of our health and our education.
WHAT AGES DO WE ACCEPT?
We are currently accepting children ages 5 -11.
IS APOGEE NORTH SOUND A SCHOOL?
We are not a school in the way we all understand the definition of "school". We are an Education and Leadership Center that provides various options depending on the educational needs of each family.
WHAT DO YOU LEARN?
Our primary goal is to develop real world skills that will be useful for the entirety of life. That starts with teaching them how to learn, not what to learn. The primary educational experience comes in the form of fun Project Based Learning experiences where our young leaders not only learn the material but learn why it's important and how to apply it. We use Socratic Conversations to build communication, critical thinking, debate, and civil discourse skills. Our physiology class will partner exercise with education on biology, anatomy, nutrition, psychology, and more. We will supplement our PBL with traditional reading and academics to master specific skills.
WHAT IS THE SOCRATIC METHOD?
Socrates sought to get to the foundations of his students' and colleagues' views by asking continual questions until a contradiction was exposed, thus proving the fallacy of the initial assumption. This became known as the Socratic Method, and may be Socrates' most enduring contribution to philosophy. The Socratic Method provides all students greater confidence about talking to large groups, allows them to develop the ability to argue forcefully and persuasively, and teaches them to think critically. For years this method has been a large part of Harvard and Chicago Law. We use it for the same purpose, to equip our young men and women with the skills needed to reason and articulate...
HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND OUTSIDE?
Rain or shine we will be outside, we will even do class outside. Humans were designed to be outside with nature. In addition to outside time our heroes will experience a true Physical Education where we will do daily jiu jitsu, learn about physiology, biology, nutrition, mental health, and much more.
